The people behind the MTG study

Study Coordinator
If you have any questions regarding the MTG study Programme please contact Study Coordinator Maria Kabel, 72 18 50 93.

Teachers
MTG teachers mainly come from The Center for Computer Games Research which was founded in Spring 2003. The people involved in the Center are faculty researchers and ITU Ph.D. candidates, as well as internationally recognized visiting scholars. Their backgrounds vary from the Humanities or Social Sciences (such as Film and Media Studies, Literary Theory, Information Sciences, Psychology, HCI, and Sociology) to Computer Science and Software Engineering.

You can see current Center members and activities of the research group or view a list of all the teachers currently affiliated with the games programme.

We find there is still a lot of uncharted land to be covered by computer game research. The importance of motivation; the development of content; game aesthetics & structure; potential design methods; the relation between computer games and other media such as film; the relation between human-computer interaction and play testing; the prospective use of computer games for educational purposes; the relation between social interaction design and game design in multi-player games: all are questions worth examining in that they are all relevant to the game design and theory. Answering some of these questions might not only help us develop theory, but will produce knowledge which can also be applied in the production of other interactive digital products." Quote from the Center For Computer Games Research.

Meet some students
